Saluli Posted February 1, 2012 (edited) Hi minna-san! I know that volks don't release all the dates of the next events. But considering previous years, we can roughly estimate when each dollpa will occur, and in which city. Please contribute with your knowledge, and latter I will edit this post inserting a "calendar" of events. Thanks! General Calendar: March: Home town Dolpa May: Tokyo Dollpa August: Hometown Dolpa October: DD Gathering December: Tokyo Dolpa 2012 Calendar: March,11 HT Dolpa ~ Kyoto May,06 27 Dolpa ~ Tokyo August, 10 HomeTown Dolpa Sendai ~ Sendai Edited February 9, 2012 by Guest Summon ritual is over. And finally complete. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

mitsuki Posted February 1, 2012 It is fun to look at the trends. I wonder if other hometowns will get to have Dolpas in the future. Last year was the first for Kobe. Tokyo Dolpa 11 8-1-2004 Tokyo Dolpa 12 12-5-2004 Kyoto 3 4-2-2005 Tokyo Dolpa 13 5-3-2005 Nagoya 2 8-21-2005 Tokyo Dolpa 14 12-25-2005 Kyoto 4 3-19-2006 Tokyo Dolpa 15 5-2006 Nagoya 3 9-9-2006 Tokyo Dolpa 16 12-24-2006 Osaka 3 3-18-2007 Tokyo Dolpa 17 5-4-2007 Osaka 4 8-12-2007 Tokyo Dolpa 18 12-23-2007 Kyoto 5 3-29-2008 Tokyo Dolpa 19 5-3-2008 Osaka 5 8-23-2008 Tokyo Dolpa 20 12-7-2008 Kyoto 6 3-22-2009 Tokyo Dolpa 21 5-5-2009 Nagoya 4 8-23-2009 Tokyo Dolpa 22 12-9-2009 Kyoto 7 3-14-2010 Tokyo Dolpa 23 5-4-2010 Osaka 6 8-6-2010 Tokyo Dolpa 24 12-25-2010 Kyoto 8 3-13-2011 Tokyo Dolpa 25 4-30-2011 Kobe 1 7-31-2011 Tokyo Dolpa 26 12-18-2011 Kyoto 9 3-11-2012 Tokyo Dolpa 27 5-6-2012 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Nightmare Tea Posted February 1, 2012 It seems to be 4 Dolpa's every year. 2 Tokyo, 2 Hometown. And since there are 2 new girls every round, that's 8 diffrent chances that a girl you like will be released. So basicly, they don't give us a big enough break.

Saluli Posted February 2, 2012 10 girls per year. We have the October DD Gathering too. Considering that sometimes we have 2 girls on pre-order events, and sometimes they release 3 girls... There are too the MDD releases.... And......................All of this girls need outfits, wigs, hands, shoes... and LOVE! Summon ritual is over. And finally complete.

Poofiemus Posted February 2, 2012 Next one is eleventh of March? That's pretty soon! I'm guessing sometime in the next two weeks we should see the announcement of all the stuff they're releasing for Kyoto 9. Please be only clothes, please PLEASE no Homura, Madoka, or Miku!

Nightmare Tea Posted February 3, 2012 I'm hoping for no one I like, since I need some time to save money... For me, both the character and the mold matters. I'll probably only buy her if I like her original character, and have watched the show she comes from and such. But if a new girl comes and I have no idea who she is, the chances of me buying her are very slim. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

But if a new girl comes and I have no idea who she is, the chances of me buying her are very slim. Heh, I admit I actually went for Millhiore because really I liked her face and because I thought there would be less chance that she would have a high demand with people in North America. But I agree that if they come out with someone from a show I love this next time... yeah then I'd be in trouble. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
dreamcore Posted February 5, 2012 Looking at the list mitsuki posted, I can't help but notice that the patterns suggest the August HT Dolpa will be in Nagoya. That would be fantastic, since I'll be about a twenty or so minute train ride away from Nagoya in August! Please let me be right... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Saluli Posted February 9, 2012 HomeTown Dolpa Sendai added to the list! It will be 2 days after my birthday! Summon ritual is over. And finally complete. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
dreamcore Posted February 9, 2012 So much for that idea! But I can see why they would have it in Sendai; Sendai really needs to draw all the tourism and people back. Since I'll be in Japan during that time, I think I might still get on a train and attend the Dolpa ^^ Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Poofiemus Posted February 9, 2012 Actually, the August Dolpa last year was originally supposed to be in Sendai (that's why one of the SDs was Date Masamune.) However the earghquake caused them to move it. I'm glad to hear that Volks considers Sendai back on its feet enough to host a convention. In this household, sanity is considered a tresspasser.

Nightmare Tea Posted March 4, 2012 I have a question, and I couldn't find a more relevant thread, so I will ask it here. For example, say that someone I like comes out in the future, and I want to enter for her. How far apart is the Volks USA entry period and the Volks International entry period to try for them? Like, if it's confirmed that I lost the Volks USA entry, would I be able to enter the Volks International lottery afterwards? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
misskale Posted March 4, 2012 I don't know for sure. But, for the last Dolpa they sent my confirmation the day before the International Lottery opened. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Like, if it's confirmed that I lost the Volks USA entry, would I be able to enter the Volks International lottery afterwards? Volks USA seems to make a point of getting the results out before the international lottery. The only time I can remember that they didn't was with Saber Lilly, and at the time they said something about making an exception and letting people cancel if they won in both. So yes, you can do that. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
